      block: implement and enforce request peek/start/fetch · 9934c8c0
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Till now block layer allowed two separate modes of request execution.
      A request is always acquired from the request queue via
      elv_next_request().  After that, drivers are free to either dequeue it
      or process it without dequeueing.  Dequeue allows elv_next_request()
      to return the next request so that multiple requests can be in flight.
      
      Executing requests without dequeueing has its merits mostly in
      allowing drivers for simpler devices which can't do sg to deal with
      segments only without considering request boundary.  However, the
      benefit this brings is dubious and declining while the cost of the API
      ambiguity is increasing.  Segment based drivers are usually for very
      old or limited devices and as converting to dequeueing model isn't
      difficult, it doesn't justify the API overhead it puts on block layer
      and its more modern users.
      
      Previous patches converted all block low level drivers to dequeueing
      model.  This patch completes the API transition by...
      
      * renaming elv_next_request() to blk_peek_request()
      
      * renaming blkdev_dequeue_request() to blk_start_request()
      
      * adding blk_fetch_request() which is combination of peek and start
      
      * disallowing completion of queued (not started) requests
      
      * applying new API to all LLDs
      
      Renamings are for consistency and to break out of tree code so that
      it's apparent that out of tree drivers need updating.

      block: convert to pos and nr_sectors accessors · 83096ebf
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      With recent cleanups, there is no place where low level driver
      directly manipulates request fields.  This means that the 'hard'
      request fields always equal the !hard fields.  Convert all
      rq->sectors, nr_sectors and current_nr_sectors references to
      accessors.
      
      While at it, drop superflous blk_rq_pos() < 0 test in swim.c.

      block: add rq->resid_len · c3a4d78c
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      rq->data_len served two purposes - the length of data buffer on issue
      and the residual count on completion.  This duality creates some
      headaches.
      
      First of all, block layer and low level drivers can't really determine
      what rq->data_len contains while a request is executing.  It could be
      the total request length or it coulde be anything else one of the
      lower layers is using to keep track of residual count.  This
      complicates things because blk_rq_bytes() and thus
      [__]blk_end_request_all() relies on rq->data_len for PC commands.
      Drivers which want to report residual count should first cache the
      total request length, update rq->data_len and then complete the
      request with the cached data length.
      
      Secondly, it makes requests default to reporting full residual count,
      ie. reporting that no data transfer occurred.  The residual count is
      an exception not the norm; however, the driver should clear
      rq->data_len to zero to signify the normal cases while leaving it
      alone means no data transfer occurred at all.  This reverse default
      behavior complicates code unnecessarily and renders block PC on some
      drivers (ide-tape/floppy) unuseable.
      
      This patch adds rq->resid_len which is used only for residual count.
      
      While at it, remove now unnecessasry blk_rq_bytes() caching in
      ide_pc_intr() as rq->data_len is not changed anymore.
      
      Boaz	: spotted missing conversion in osd
      Sergei	: spotted too early conversion to blk_rq_bytes() in ide-tape

      [PATCH] beginning of methods conversion · d4430d62
      Al Viro 提交于
      To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers;
      to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following:
      	1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct
      prototypes, make (few) callers handle both.  That's this changeset.
      	2) for each driver convert to new methods.  *ALL* drivers
      are converted in this series.
      	3) kill the old (renamed) methods.
      
      Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the
      end of this series no trace of old methods remain.  The only reason why
      we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver
      debugging if anything goes wrong.
      
      New methods:
      	open(bdev, mode)
      	release(disk, mode)
      	ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)		/* Called without BKL */
      	compat_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)
      	locked_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)	/* Called with BKL, legacy */

      cciss: remove READ_AHEAD define and use block layer defaults · 68d95b58
      Mike Miller 提交于
      This patch removes the #define READ_AHEAD 1024 from the driver and uses the
      block layer defaults, instead. We have found that under certain workloads
      the setting can cause a disk connected to the e200 controller to go offline.
      If the disk hiccups the link may try to downshift but the controller is
      never notified that the link successfully completed the renegotiation.
      We've also found that performance using the block layer default of 32 pages
      was on par with the 1024 setting. We tried setting it to zero at one time
      based on info from our firmware guys but that killed performance. Turns out
      we were talking about 2 different read ahead settings.
      Please consider this for inclusion.
